Sunday Scripture

Each of us can show Jesus how much we love him by showing reverence for the Eucharist. There is a grand procession today in Belgium, where a relic of the Precious Blood has been venerated for more than six hundred years. In celebrations throughout the world, people are united in reverence to the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. Let us join the Church in giving honor to Christ, who is truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament.

In today's first reading, we hear of Moses using the blood of the sacrificial lamb as a sign of the people's commitment to their covenant with God. Hebrews reminds us that we are redeemed by Christ's sacrifice. In the Gospel, Jesus institutes the Eucharist at the Last Supper.
